On behalf of the competitors, Rory Stephens spoke about the camaraderie enjoyed by the Hillclimb community as a whole and the concept of a “weekend away” for families at each event. He also explained that Ireland were sending a team to the FIA International Hillclimb Masters in October in Ecce Homo, Czech Republic.It is possible for Irish competitors to qualify for this team by competing on Irish events.
